#MSTRSells1638BTC Michael Saylor's Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) did something it has rarely done in its Bitcoin-buying history — it sold. According to an SEC 8-K filing, the company offloaded 1,638 BTC between July 27 and August 2 at an average price of $63,957 per coin, raising about $104.7 million. That brought total holdings down to 842,138 BTC, still worth roughly $52.6 billion, though the position carries close to $10.9 billion in unrealized losses at current prices. Alongside the Bitcoin sale, Strategy also sold 3.01 million MSTR shares for $290.6 million, using the combined proceeds to fund preferred-stock dividends, buy back STRC shares, and push its USD cash reserve up to $4 billion. The move comes right after Strategy posted an $8.33 billion operating loss for Q2, driven largely by unrealized losses on its Bitcoin treasury, and with MSTR shares down about 40% year-to-date. Analysts read this less as a retreat from Bitcoin and more as a liquidity rebalancing — the company is now leaning on multiple funding channels (share issuance, bitcoin sales, and cash reserves) to cover its expensive 12% dividend obligations on STRC preferred stock. Still, the split among Wall Street analysts tells the real story: TD Cowen kept a bullish $260 price target, while Benchmark cut its target from $570 to $435 after lowering its bitcoin price forecast — leaving investors to decide whether this is smart treasury management or an early crack in Saylor's all-in bitcoin strategy.
